Looking to compare SACD sound with redbook


I am sure there is a thread that gives opinions on SACD sound versus quality redbook but I cant find it here. I am thinking of replacing my current NAK MB1 into Aragon D2A2 DAC, with the NorthStar Transport and DAC, but concerned about plunking the $$$ if SACD is so much better. I have extensive redbook collection that I doubt I would replace unless its an amazing difference. Live in a rural area and cannot audition stuff easily. Help!

I heartily suggest that you check out SACD. You can find threads on here that will direct you to great recordings, or if you request, I'll suggest two or three for you. Especially if you like jazz or classical, there are many, many great SACD recordings. In my experience, the best SACD stomps the lights out of redbook CD.

Moreover, you can get this killer performance in a relatively inexpensive unit.

But that's just my experience. You owe it to yourself to check it out for yourself and make up your own mind.
